Trapped amongst my own contraptionsCaption reads defeated villain pays for his infractionsGenius forced to mechanics, a man with passion galvanicDefiants turned to appliance, from messianic to manic

Noonien Soong to nine to five , labors leave me in agonyWarriors now warped to servants by my slavers is blasphemyTheir task for me drilling droids, shipping crates, fixing fatesSo former soldiers become prostitutes and toasters, while I rust and wait

A Maker mending microchipsOnce they knew me, feared me, as the God of their Apocalypse Developments enveloped men, burn cities asunderInsult me with faulty circuitry, I gave you robotic wonder

The world was mine to plunder now I do as I’m biddenControlled by captors, robot’s life overwrittenOnce hallowed, now hollow, I’m a tinkerer of toysMaligned mirth resigned to work without choice, without joyCircuits rust and burn I must return them to their trustRe-animate for those that hate and spurn mePatiently I’ll make them re-awaken once they breakBroken Robots once my own and now returning

My talents were meant to terrorize nationsThe stations tuned to attacks backed by metal machinationsMy creations were my culmination and their confiscationAnd cessation of my aspirations is my ruination

From a screw-loose cannon to terror-mad visionaryTo an also-ran villain, father to a mortuaryMade of automata, each dead droid and droneSurrounded in penance by broken robots I've known

Shoulder to the wheel, spanner to the boltSolder to the steel I once soldiered in revoltCircuitry connected, to new purposes appliedResurrected and corrected as the dreams they once were died

They seem to be made to suffer, it's their lot in lifeBut if I built them and I broke them am I twisting the knife?And if I fix them I've condemned them to existence in perditionThe price of my ambition; subjugation and submission

Circuits rust and burn I must return them to their trustRe-animate for those that hate and spurn mePatiently I’ll make them re-awaken once they breakBroken Robots once my own and now returning
